What event marked the beginning of the Cuban Missile Crisis?
A. Yes…it was a CIA backed U2 spy plane that photographed the Cuban/russian missile sites. B. John F Kennedy ordered the naval blockade of Cuba to stop Soviet missiles from entering Cuba. C. Low level american plane was shot down on a reconnaissance job…the americans showed resolve not going to a shooting war. D. The Coup failed and it was before the missile crisis…again a CIA mission. It was called “The Bay of Pigs” fiasco because it failed. That’s one reason the Cubans wanted Russian nukes on their soil. How the conflict ended The Soviets would dismantle their missiles in Cuba….in return the US would dismantle its missiles in Turkey.
